My dog can't get up. back injury?
I have a ten year old rottweiller and we recently moved to a new house.The stairs that lead outside to the back yard are about a foot each (there is two).I think she must of had trouble getting up or down them and somehow injured herself in the process.she has been unable to walk for four days now. She can sit up and roll from side to side but still can't get up.I am not sure what to do?

Has she been to the vet? She'll probably need some prednisone, and maybe crate rest. Are you familiar with walking aids? Rolling and sitting are good; she'll be less apt to get bedsores if she can help herself some. Can she poop and pee by herself?

She is going to the vet today for x-rays hopefully that will tell us something she hasn't had a bowel movement in over a week.critters wrote: Has she been to the vet?
